Description
The output is a confirmation of the company’s portal
strategy and portal program. This might be required as a preparation for the
portal project scoping and to validate the feasibility of customer
expectations. It might also be helpful to review SAP’s portal product planning
(planned releases/features).
The following list contains some typical issues of a
portal program to be reviewed:
·
Which portal projects are planned and when?
·
Which kind of portal communities should be addressed
(employees, business partners, customers, visitors)?
·
Which business units should be addressed and when?
·
Which existing solutions (intranets, portals, Web
servers) should be replaced or consolidated?
·
Are there portal projects for establishing specific
business scenarios (for example, establishing a sales platform).
The
output could also include the following:
·
An
assessment of the current enterprise systems
·
An
assessment of the current enterprise content (what kind of documents, and what
is the content management process like?)
·
An assessment
for Web content guidelines or corporate identity guidelines in order to make
portal content adhere to them
Depending
on the portal scope, another part of the strategy assessment might be the
review of the company’s knowledge management strategy.

Information
A high level portal strategy may already be in place,
since it may have been created during the discovery and evaluation phase.
